I found it interesting in Libris Mortis that the Mohrg is a monster class. I just have one questions about the Racial benefits. It says 

Starting Ability Score Adjustments: +2 Str, Con —. Mohrgs
are stronger than an average creature of the base race. As an
undead creature, a mohrg does not have a Constitution score.
Speed: A mohrg’s land speed is the same as that of the base
race.

What is the base race?
Like if I chose the base race to be Halfling, I would get 20 ft base movement, but would I also get the other bonuses from the Halfling race (i.e. size modifier, +2 dex, -2 str... etc.)? Or would I just get the base movement from the Halfling?

You get the modifiers from both. In your example, the mohrg would be Small, with a base speed of 20' and +2 Dex and no Con score. The halfling's -2 Str and mohrg's +2 Str cancel each other out.

Alright, cool. Definitely not going to be a halfling though.

Aww c'mon you can be a "Halfling".


Take this kid in Apocalypto who is infected and
cursing the Son Of The Chieftain, and scares the
snot out of everybody including the prisoners (slaves).
That's a Mohrg-ish little ~halfling right there.

Also, this might be a really stupid question... but do I have to take all 20 lvls in Mohrg since its a monster class before cross classing or what not?

Technically, yes. Your DM might say differently, though.

While you could start out as a (for example) Halfling Barbarian 2, then get Mohrged (ending up as a Mohrg 1/Barbarian 1), you couldn't start as a Mohrg, then class into Barbarian until level 21.
